[bernzpeed]

Finally had some energy to do the projects. Still procrastinating on the dash swap.

[freeride53]

So much progress lately!

[bernzpeed]

Also tried this one since the wheel was off

[bernzpeed]

Also this was laying around for the past 2 years so I figured I would put it to good use.



My trunk is fully lit. Yeay!

My car before install


Brand spanking new




Figuring out where to fit all clips






Test fitting the whole thing.
NOTE: Make sure you the both pieces TOGETHER.


Otherwise, you will get this gap


Marking the tip of the clips so it transfers to the body.




Drilled out a hole with a 3/8 step drill


Inserted the grommet


Tap tap tap


Tadah!


Installed the bottom clips






Lined up right


Making a hole for the rivet


Lined up perfectly the second time around


My riveter is too small for the BMW rivet


Temporary fix
